Mmp17b is essential for proper neural crest cell migration in vivo.

Mmp17b is essential for proper neural crest cell migration in vivo.

The extracellular matrix plays a critical role in neural crest (NC) cell migration. In this study, we characterize the contribution of the novel GPI-linked matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) zebrafish mmp17b. Mmp17b is expressed post-gastrulation in the developing NC. Morpholino inactivation of mmp17b f...
